MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 How so? Cropping tends to make things smaller... There is usually an "image resize" option somewhere, depends what software you use. But don't expect to keep the image quality if you try and make a tiny pic too large.

If on the other hand I crop the edges it allows me to save the image does that make sense????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't making any difference to the actual size or resolution of your pic, just how you are viewing it, just like looking at something through a magnifyng glass. The actual pixel dimensions and file size will remain the same unless you change them or crop the pic so it will always revert to the original when you zoom out again or reopen the file later. Assuming you have a pic of a bird or whatever, and it's quite small in the pic and you want it bigger... the answer is to crop and resize the image (increase the pixel dimensions with your editing software) This might help It tells you how to make the pics smaller, but the concept of enlarging them is much the same, but bear in mind that the more you enlarge them the more the quality will drop off... This link goes into more detail Hope this helps... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
